Default Kooks 2 inch headers install

Guys I just got these kooks 2 inch headers intalled on the car. Now will be putting ever thing back together. Put them in from the top had to remover everthing to get them in, even the booster from the firewall. But didnt have to cut nothing off the bell housing and the car has a QTime aftermarket one. Also didnt have to cut the air cond line but did have to remove and empty the line then refill and just push the line over a little.. Robert

It was the only way I would do this again is if doing a head and cam are had the motor out of the car. The vendor I got them from acted like no big deal just left one side of the motor up unhook that side of it and drop them in. NOT
